I don't think that you can say by any stretch of the imagination that all Wisconsin or Brooklyn-based poets write in a particular way. Similar sensibilities can spring up next to each other in the flower bed, or across oceans.

I'm interested in concrete poems - anything that complicates the line between the written and the visual.

Having my poems set to music by Eric Moe has completely knocked my socks off.

Erasures are interesting to me because they prove what particular sieves we all are.

I am charmed by concrete poetry (but it's very hard to do well, I think) and in general by the idea of mixing the visual and the textual.

I think there are people who do write regionally, because that's their subject matter - the way the sunset looks over a strip mall, memories of flirting at the ice rink, waking up to a deer at the window... Up to now, that hasn't been mine.

I do have a tendency to invest inanimate objects with human qualities.
